• If you obtained the binary distribution and do not have a Fortran compiler, be sure to place the libF77.so.2.0 shared library (which will be found either in your $AIPS_ROOT/SUN4/lib directory for tape binary installations, or in $AIPS_ROOT for ftp binary installs) in a directory that is included in your $LD_LIBRARY_PATH, or better yet in the directory /usr/lang/SC2.0.1/. This is necessary so that the shared library can be detected in the correct place by the dynamic loader ld.so at runtime. If you cannot place it here, try putting it in $SYSLOCAL and include this area in the definition of LD_LIBRARY_PATH in your .login or .profile initialization file.
• On SunOS 4.1 systems, you need an ANSI compliant C compiler to compile F2PS (and probably F2TEXT) during INSTEP1; the standard /bin/cc compiler may not work. We suggest GNU C (gcc), or fetch the binary from aips.nrao.edu:/aips/BIN/SUN4/F2PS.
• The default qualifiers in $SYSLOCAL/CCOPTS.SH has the "-native" qualifier in the COMP variable; As this is not recognised by the K&R style compiler, you should remove it before starting INSTEP2.
